Youngji became Kara's new member.

At MBC Music's 'Kara Project - Kara the Beginning' aired on July 1, Youngji took the first place, defeating other 3 competitors, Sojin, Somin and Chaewon. Kara's Nicole and Kang Ji Young left the team in early 2014 and the group decided to pick out its new member through the reality show.

Youngji said "I'm so happy. I'll do my best and I hope that I will not wreck Kara's career. I'd like to thank all those who have supported me."

Meanwhile, Kara will release its new album in August and kick off its concert tour in Japan in October.
